Yea, I don't think you need an IP address for Postie.  The only reason you
would need an ip address would be for your email server, which wouldn't
change.  Most likely, though, it has an address like xl1.mail.nj.isp.com.
If it is simply mail, then there is a proxy setup by your ISP.  You can go
to a DOS prompt and do PING MAIL and it will tell you what the real address
is.

Well, I don't have a DSL connection, but I'm not sure what postie has to do
with getting a different IP address? Postie is just used to send and receive
mail, and is independant of the local computer's IP.

Can anyone who is using Postie with ECS who has a DSL connection share
their setup?  Each time each a PC in the house signs-on to the ISP one
obtains a different IP address.  It is never the same.
